Green City Imperial Stout V1 2020 (Wild Thai Banana)
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

 

 

Pitch black, very little carbonation. Poured like olive oil.

Nose of cigar, banana, and booze.

Sweet upfront with banana, with chocolate bitterness and pepper spiciness on the back.

Thick but smooth texture.

Overall a really good beer. Big flavors and great smell. Reminds me of Bamburana or a little bit of Mexican cake.

 

Poured into a 20 oz giant tulip glass not sure when it was bottled. Pours midnight black on an overcast winters night, with a 2 plus finger mocha head that settles fairly quick with little if any lace. 4.25

Smell is deep dark chocolate, strong roasted coffee, vanilla beans, leather, sweet pipe tobacco, and bold oaked bourbon. 4.25

Taste follows dark chocolate, sweet bourbon, roasted coffee, leather, pipe tobacco, and vanilla really complex and in your face but tasty. 4.25

Mouthfeel is above average, a tad dry, slightly under carbonated, and at 16.7% really a sipper, but because of how complex it is it goes down pretty easy. 4.25

Overall this a really nice Imperial Stout that drinks like BCBS and wish they could make it more like a high ABV Stout like Avery does, still really nice but the entire time drinking you realize it is really boozy and too lightly carbonated. 4.25
